Naive tree planting definitely isn't as simple a carbon capture method as 1 ton trees -> -1 ton carbon, but in current circumstances it's still a good idea. For one, thanks to deforestation most tree planting (so long as they're planted in a sustainable way) is growth, increasing total biomass. For another, if I could snap my fingers and offset some current day carbon emissions by a few decades, I definitely would. We are right against the wall at the moment, buying a bit of time could do a lot for us.
